Lyrics
This song says God's mercy kept me
So I wouldn't let go
Anybody in here felt like giving up
Just throwin' in the towel, just giving up
I'm not gonna ask anybody to hunch but just look at it
That person is here tonight only because of god's mercy and his grace
Somebody oughta tell God, thank you for your mercy
And your grace that kept me
I almost let go
I felt like I just couldn't take life anymore
My problems had me bound
Depression weighed me down
But God held me close
So I wouldn't let go
God's mercy kept me (Can I get a witness in here)
So I wouldn't let go
(I almost gave up)
I almost gave up
I was right at the edge of a breakthrough
But couldn't see it
The devil really had me
But Jesus came and grab me
And He held me close, so I wouldn't let go
(God's mercy kept me) God's mercy kept me so I wouldn't let go
(Can I get a witness in here that knows about God's grace)
(So I'm here today)
So I'm here today because God kept me
I'm alive today only because of His grace
Oh, He kept me, God kept me, He kept me
So I wouldn't let go
Come on, hold somebody next to you and tell them
I was really down, I was really down
The devil really had me
But God's mercy kept me
I'm here tonight 'cause of God's mercy
Come on just thank him, just thank him
I almost let go
I felt like I just couldn't take life anymore
My problems had me bound
Depression weighed me down
But God held me close
So I wouldn't let go
God's mercy kept me
So I wouldn't let go
So I'm here today because God kept me
I'm alive today only because of His grace
Oh, He kept me, God kept me
He kept me, God kept me
He kept me, God kept me
He kept me, God kept me
Oh my lord, yeah
You, you, you don't know what I've been through
And how I went through it
Depression had me so far down
That I didn't know who I was
But oh to be kept by Jesus
That's the song my momma taught me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
He kept me, yes, he did
He kept me
Lord kept me
He kept me, yes, he did
